Electrical and computer engineering professor, George Freeman, has been recognized with the Friend of Natalie Award by the Waterloo Engineering Society for his contributions to improving the mental health of his students.
Brigette Lau (BASc ’99, computer engineering) is the co-founder of a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, a poker player and mother to three children. She’s also a self-described introvert with deep expertise investing in early-stage technology.
As a teenager in the mid-1990s, Lau was thrilled to get a job at a big-box store and doubted that she ever needed to go to university. Her parents, however, had other ideas: “I grew up as an immigrant in Canada” Lau says.
ECE PhD student, Davina (Liuyang) Ren, supervised by Professor Paul Ward, has won a Best Student Paper Award at the 16th edition of the ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBS) for her work entitled “Toward Reducing Cross-shard Transaction Overhead in Sharded Blockchains.”

Wearable patch will send crucial readings to users' smartphones
Researchers are developing a tiny, painless, wearable patch for people with type 1 diabetes which will send crucial readings to their smartphones.
The new project, funded by the JDRF (formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), involves the use of hundreds of tiny microneedles to sense glucose and ketone levels.
